[QUOTE="Jonty, post: 187, member: 41"] I thought it may be helpful to have LawTech resources placed in one thread. People can use this thread to post any interesting websites/podcasts/books/articles etc that they come across that they feel may be of interest to others. [B][U]Websites [/U][/B] [COLOR=#0000ff][URL='https://www.artificiallawyer.com/'][COLOR=#0000ff]The Artificial Lawyer[/COLOR][/URL] [/COLOR]- A news blog ran by Richard Tromans - a well known legal management consultant - who writes about news and development in the sector. [URL='https://www.legalgeek.co/'][COLOR=#0000ff]LegalGeek[/COLOR][/URL] - Founded by Jimmy Vestbirk and Helen Gazzi - LawTech focused events are what they organise and they're turning into some of the biggest around. Their first event a few years ago had a capacity of a few hundred. Last year this was upped to a thousand and their event this year (in October) is aimed at two thousand. I'd highly recommend following them on MeetUp to stay abreast of their new events as they are typically well-attended and informative LawTech focused events. Also on their website is a startup map which gives you an idea of what companies are out there. [COLOR=#0000ff][URL='https://www.legaltechnology.com/'][COLOR=#0000ff]Legal IT Insider[/COLOR][/URL] [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]- A great resource filled with news and updates about technology within Law. This website covers all forms of tech, not just LawTech, so can be a bit news dense but a great resource nonetheless ran by Caroline Hill (a writer who has always had a focus on legal journalism) and Charles Christian (an ex-barrister, now journalist focused on LawTech matters). Every person I've mentioned above is also well worth a follow on twitter. [B][U]Books[/U][/B] Richard Susskind - [B]Tomorrow's Lawyers[/B]: An Introduction To Your Future - Susskind currently acts as the IT advisor to the Lord Chief Justice and has been writing books surrounding Legal IT for over 30 years and is widely respected within the industry. The Future Lawyer deals with predictions on the future of the legal industry and, whilst some of his predictions may seem a bit outlandish, it's all well worth a read if you harbor any genuine intent to practice law. Richard & Daniel Susskind - [B]The Future Of The Professions[/B]: How Technology Will Transform The Work Of Human Experts - More wide-ranging than the previous book, this book focuses on the specific and general criticisms facing several different professions (inc. Health, Education, Divinity, Law, Journalism, Management Consulting, Tax and Architecture) before making two sets of predictions for the future of each (one conservative, one more creative). Chrissie Lightfoot - [B]Tomorrow's Naked Lawyer[/B] - I've not been able to get hold of a copy of this book yet but it is, by all accounts, a further excellent guide into the present and possible future of the legal world. [B][U]Podcasts[/U][/B] A tougher category to fill. There seems to be a number of good one-off episodes from technology podcasts but there is a harder time finding regular UK-focused LawTech podcasts. [B]Lawyers of Tomorrow[/B] - Stephen Turner, an ex-law lecturer, has founded a company called Lawyers of Tomorrow and also produces a podcast with the same name (which includes recent interviews with Richard Tromans). [B]Law Technology Now[/B] - An American focused podcast that still has interesting subject matter. Whilst not 100% relevant sometimes, don't forget that a lot of the bigger LawTech companies around today in the UK began life in USA. I actually have an interest in creating a podcast in this area - discussing news and featuring interviews from start-up leaders/law firm techies - and am gathering a group together to help me with it so, hopefully, in the near future we'll have something up! [B][U]Events & Apps[/U][/B] [B]MeetUp [/B]- A great mobile app (and website) that updates you on events happening in your area. You can select interests and it'll update you with relevant events matching that. I'd recommend, if you have interest in LawTech events, to download and follow certain keywords/groups on there (e.g. LegalGeek). [B]Hackathons [/B]- Legal hackathons are starting to become more popular. A few weeks ago there was a major worldwide hackathon that took place in over 40 cities (including Buenos Aires, Sydney, Melbourne, Toronto, Montreal, London, New York, LA, San Francisco, Dubai, Madrid to name but a few) across 6 continents.
